Cardiometabolic Morbidity and Other Prognostic Factors for Mortality in Adult Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients in North Jakarta, Indonesia.

Background: Although there have been several studies investigating prognostic factors for mortality in COVID-19, there have been lack of studies in low- and middle-income countries, including Indonesia. To date, the country has the highest mortality rate among Asian countries. Objective: We sought to identify the prognostic factors of mortality in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Jakarta. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included all adult inpatients (≥18 years old) with confirmed COVID-19 from Koja General Hospital (North Jakarta, Indonesia) who had been hospitalized between March 20 Results: Two hundred forty-three patients were included in the study, of whom 32 died. Comorbid of hypertension (OR 3.59; 95% CI 1.12-11.48; p = 0.031), obesity (OR 6.34; 95% CI 1.68-23.98; p = 0.007), immediate need of HFNC and/or IMV (OR 64.93; 95% CI 11.08-380.61; p < 0.001), abnormal RDW (OR 3.68; 95% CI 1.09-12.34; p = 0.035), ALC < 1,000/µL (OR 3.51; 95% CI 1.08-11.44; p = 0.038), D-dimer > 500 ng/mL (OR 9.36; 95% CI 1.53-57.12; p = 0.015) on admission, as well as chloroquine treatment (OR 3.61; 95% CI 1.09-11.99; p = 0.036) were associated with greater risk of overall mortality in COVID-19 patients. The likelihood of mortality increased with increasing number of prognostic factors. Conclusion: The potential prognostic factors of hypertension, obesity, immediate need of HFNC and/or IMV, abnormal RDW, ALC < 1,000/µL, D-dimer > 500 ng/mL, and chloroquine treatment could help clinicians to identify COVID-19 patients with poor prognosis at an early stage.
